Math 19: Calculus 2 for Physics and Engineering (Fall 2014)

A second-semester course in calculus, geared towards students interested in physics and engineering.

Calculus by Gilbert Strang. This will be our primary text for the course. You can purchase it from the bookstore or use it online for free.
10/01 Complex nth roots: Notes on finding complex solutions to an equation z^n=c.
10/15 Differential equations: Some topics in differential equations. This document is still being updated as we cover more material (last update: 10/16).
11/05 Convergence tests summary
11/07 Taylor approximation
Fourier series by James Stewart.
Complex Fourier series (focuses on the case of finite Fourier series, sometimes called trigonometric polynomials)
Fourier series and differential equations

Solutions will be posted after class on the due date of each assignment.
